Medela Pump Parts

Got Medela? You are in the right place! Here you will find replacement parts and accessories for your Medela Pump.

Note: Most Medela parts are compatible with all Medela Pumps. The exceptions are the Freestyle pumps and Hospital grade pumps. Those may have some unique parts. I have flagged a few items that are different.

If you are not sure about a part for your model or want to have me double check, then please drop me a comment on this page and I will help you out! The last thing I want is for you to have a part you can’t use.

Flanges / Breastshields

All Medela pumps are compatible with the Medela Breastshields. Medela offers a Standard Breastshield which comes included with most pumps in a size medium. They also feature their PersonalFit Breastshields which allows you to select your size.

The PersonalFit Breastshield is two pieces versus the Standard which is just one. So if you purchase the PersonalFit, you will also need to purchase the 2nd piece which is called a Connector if the set doesn’t come with it. Both the PersonalFit and the Standard Breastshields require the Valve and Membrane as well.

Confused? Follow my easy steps below to build your Breastshield!

Step 1: Choose Either a PersonalFit BreastshieldOR Standard Breastshield (NOTE- If you have a Freestyle Pump, then you need to choose a PersonalFit Breastshield, the Standard will not fit)

Step 2: Choose a Connector if you chose a PersonalFit Breastshield (NOTE- The Freestyle Pump has a special connector that is listed below, be sure you chose the one titled Freestyle)

Step 3: Select Valve and Membranes. They fit both the PersonalFit connectors and Standard Breastshields. You need one valve per Breastshield but I would suggest getting several extra membranes as you will replace those often.

Pump Replacement Tubing

Your Medela pump will come with the appropriate tubing (the plastic tube that connects the Breastshield to the pump motor) but this is a part that you will want to replace every few months. So pick up an extra or two so you have it on hand when you need to replace it.

Please note that each pump will have specific tubing. The most common are listed here. If you are unsure what type of tubing you need, please feel free to drop me a question on this page and I will help you out.

Medela Bottles and Milk Storage

Medela bottles are easy to use and clean. All listed are compatible with Medela Pumps and you can pump directly into the bottle. Add a nipple and you are good to go! Or put the cap on and store for later! So rather you need a few bottles or a whole set, you’ve got options.

Be sure to check out the Medela Calma Nipple. It is designed to mimic the breast and is a great option for going back and forth between bottle and breast.

So, there you have it. Just about every Medela accessory, you will ever need! All of these products are ones I have or would use myself. Medela is a fantastic and trusted brand. I highly recommend their products.

If you have any questions on any of the products featured on this page, just leave a comment and I will get right back to you. Have a favorite Medela accessory not featured? Let me know so I can include it!

Happy pumping!

Are there any replacement connectors where the tubing connects at the top vs from the back? The connectors that originally came with my pump allow for the tubes to connect at the top. I have only seen replacement connectors that the tubing connects from the back (near the breast) which allows a lot of condensation to enter the tubing.

Hi! I was wondering if you would know if I can use any connector part with Medela Swing pump? I was looking to get a complete replacement spare set(shield, connector, tubing, membrane, and valve) except for the electric machine. But didn’t see a connector specifically for swing anywhere.
Thank you in advance!

Hi Thilz,
The Medela Swing does have it’s own tubing and connector that is different from some of the other Medela pumps. The valve and membranes are the same and the personal fit breastshields (the ones that disconnect from the collection connector where the valve and membrane are). Here is a link with a complete set if you need all of them – Click here. You can also view individual replacement parts on the Medela site. Their customer service is great and easy to get a hold of if you need help. They may be able to order the correct parts for you too over the phone. I know it can be so confusing when looking for parts. I hope this helps!

Thank you for this information, though I am hoping you can clarify two things for me. I am using the Medela Symphony hospital grade pump but will return it and buy the Medela Swing. (1) Is the Symohony kit (tubes, connectors, etc.) compatible with the Swing? Thus can I buy the Swing pump without having to purchase another kit? (2) I am not going to work for the next 10 months therefore I am breastfeeding almost exclusively. But I want to pump when I need to step away for a few hours so I can have my husband or sitter feed the baby my breastmilk. I would hope to provide perhaps 4-6 breastmilk bottles a week. Is it necessary to buy the double pump? Or would the single pump be sufficient?

Hi Mary Ann,
The flanges (and thus the valves and membranes) and collection bottles would be compatible, the tubing, however, I do not believe is. I am 99% it is not but I will do some more research and find out on the off chance it is. The good news is that when you purchase the Medela Swing, the pump parts are included. So unless you wanted an extra set (which you really only need one set of tubing at a time) then you should be fine with what comes with the pump. So in my opinion, you would not need to purchase another kit. Then, when it comes time to replace the tubing, you can purchase one at that time.

As for a single vs double pump- for what you intend to use the Medela Swing for, I do not think a double pump is necessary. Pumping 4-6 bottles per week should be no problem. I would suggest pumping on one side while nursing your baby on the other. A hands-free pumping bra works great for that! It may be trial and error until you figure out how often you need to pump per day to produce the number of bottles you want. I hope this helps! And how amazing you are able to take 10 months off! Enjoy your little one and thank you for stopping by!

Just a quick follow up – I confirmed with Medela that the Symphony tubes and connectors cannot be used with the swing. I thought that was the case. But you can use all other parts (breast shields, valves, collection bottles, etc) with both. I hope this helps!

Yes! Medela has a lot of brand strength within the breastfeeding market. It is very trusted and you always know what you will get. I love the variety of options within their pumps as well. All pumping mothers can find a product that suits their situation and life. Thank you for your comment!

I like your website HeatherGrace.!! I’m not a mother yet but I have started thinking about when I do and I don’t want to breastfeed. I would rather use and have a breast pump. I really don’t know much about breast pumps so I would love when that time comes to read about it here and actually know what to use, do and get. I know some expectant mothers so I will be recommending them about your site!

Thank you very much! And it is never too early to educate yourself on your options. Exclusively pumping takes some work but it can be so rewarding at the same time! I hope to see you back in the future. Thank you for stopping by!
